tristan and jenna love the tates.

tatum is asleep in the middle of the loft tonight.
(this obviously isn't the loft. this picture was taken last spring, i just wanted you all to see just how sweet she is while she sleeps.)
jenna: she looks so cute like that!
(as i put her p.j.'s on her)
me: do you want me to take her to bed or leave her here so you can look at her?
tristan & jenna: leave her (at the same time)
tristan: we love to look at her while she sleeps.
me: me too buddy. :)
i LOVE that they LOVE to look at her when she sleeps. especially after a long hard day sometimes that is the best and only way to appreciate the beauty that is the tates. :)
EDITED: i guess tristan couldn't resist her cuteness because he is now all snuggled up with her. :) there isn't much more that makes a mother happy than seeing her children love the heck out of each other.

I'm totally with you...nothing better than watching your kids sleep so peacefully and having the house quiet!

The picture and the story are both priceless.

My sister used to say that God invented sleep so that Mothers could fall back in love with their children. I totally agree. Before I go to bed I always go in and check on each child and take a minute to watch them. It's amazing what that does to heal a Mothers heart.

Super cute girl. But I am having some confusion...she is not sleeping in the loft in the picture.
